"Dr. Healy says that if the new guidelines are followed, more women will die of breast cancer."

Well, of course they will. It doesn't take an expert to figure that out. If that were the only factor in the equation, the change would not have been recommended.

BREAST CANCER - Ignore guidelines, ex-NIH chief says

The former director of the National Institutes of Health is advising women to ignore new guidelines that delay the start of routine mammogram testing for breast cancer.

Dr. Bernadine Healy, appearing on "Fox News Sunday," said the directive would save money but not lives.


If we get the government option there will be no option. Everyone will have to submit to whatever healthcare the government death panels deign to bequeath upon us.
